Location Fix (on device) to Update to Server (Time delay) reporting/display

jaimzj9 years ago

Dear Anton,

I am currently using 2.12 version (Server), however you can let me know if this can be possible in 2.12 or even 3.0 versions.

  1. There are chances when there is a network connectivity issue or data package expiry related issue on the device SIM Cards. the Location Fix is stored in device (Gt06n and many others) and then uploaded as and when there is connectivity etc. (In such cases) or even in some cases the fix timing and update to server timing will have huge difference.

  2. In Log we are able to identify these delays. as an example plz see one of my log entrie (With such a delay)
    2015-07-28 23:44:21 INFO: device: 9, time: Tue Jul 28 23:26:03 IST 2015, lat: 11.910717777777778, lon: 79.5478488888889

where the location fix for 23:26:03 is received on server at 23:44:21.

My query is, in such cases's is it possible to display such delays in the application side itself (Thus if there are hundreds or thousands of vehicles) an administrator without having to go thru log, can see the list of vehicles/devices that have such a delay and (easily address the issue).

It might be of help to many I feel.

Also if not, can you suggest an easy way to achieve it, without having to go thru the logs every-time.

I guess you can have an SQL script that will show you devices that didn't send data for some time. In version 3.0 there are separate columns in the database for device time and server time.

As for implementation, I plan to implement notifications at some point, so it would be possible to get email or some other type of notification when device(s) go offline for a long period of time.

That's great then, Version 3.0 solves my need.

I will write a script for a time difference check between server time & device time :-)
